Hello! I'm having a hard time figuring out our Taipei Trip due to limited time. I will be traveling with my relatives (senior aunt & uncles) from Sept 10-17We are flying to Taipei on Sept 10th, and we'll be arriving about noon. My relatives would like to visit Taitung (2nights) & Hualien (overnight).Traveling from Taipei to Taitung by train is pretty long and a waste of time. So here are my options:

What do you think? Any recommendations? As much as possible, since i will be with 3 seniors, I want to avoid switching trains and too much walking.I checked domestic airlines, only Transasia fly from Hualien to Taipei & Mandarin fly from Taipei to Taitung. Are these the only local airlines available?As for express train, a lot say that we have to book train tickets in advance, is it really necessary? Cant we just walk in and purchase tickets at the station? Is September a peak season?

would like to went to shifen, jiufen and keelung miaokou night market by public transport. How do I get there and back from ximending if I started my trip at 8am? How should my itinerary be for the day?

Hi there! I was wondering if the self balancing electric (2 wheel) scooters/ mini Segway without steering wheel, are also a hype in Taiwan (Taipei). And if so, would anyone know where they can be bought? I have search on the internet for weeks now, but came up empty handed. Maybe they go by (yet) another name?

Is it possible to buy cigarettes under 18 years old? Are there some stores that would "secretly" sell them to minors? I live in a country where I'm at legal age of smoking and I like to smoke from time to time, and I'm gonna spend 2 months in Taipei so it would be useful to know if it's possible to buy them ;) or maybe do you know if it's possible to carry them in my luggage? Won't i have any problems with transporting two packs with me even if I'm not 18?

Thanks :) and please don't tell me to stop smoking, I smoke very rarely, a pack would last me for a month ;)

What are the regulations for bringing cooked food (packed fried rice/hotdog buns etc) into Taipei airport? Is it allowed? We will be travelling on a tight schedule and might not have time to stop for food etc, so we are thinking of bringing from home. Pls advice. Thanks..

I am travelling to Taiwan for the Taispo, Internationa Sporting Goods Show in March. It will be my first visit to Taipei. I am looking for information regarding transportation in and around the city. I am staying at the Tango Hotel XinYi. I would like to know the easiest way to get from the Taoyuan airport to he hotel and would also like to know the best way to travel to and from the fair ground. Also, information on vegetarian restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel and fairground would be most appreciated.

Hello! Will be in Tw next year March. 6D seems too long for Taipei only, but too short if we would like to explore outside Taipei. Is it recommended to perhaps drop by Taichung or Tainan for a short 2D1N trip? Will it be too rush or cramped?

I'll be going to Taipei over winter break. I was wondering what is winter like in Taipei? What do I need to pack clothing wise? I'm visiting friends and their presents. What gift should I bring fortaiwanese elder?

Hi, guys! Please help me out in my itinerary... I'm going to TW for the first time in a few weeks, and I'd like to cover most of the attractions in the city and a bit further out in 4D3N. My base will be in Ximending.

Why the itinerary is as such:
I'm more of a city gal, so malls and modern structures are always a draw. Looking forward to Taipei 101 the most!
Going to Yangmingshan hoping to see autumn foliage! And it's near to Beitou (are the hot springs really that HOT?) Wasn't keen on Danshui intitially but it's also nearby so might as well.
Ticking the historical landmarks just because. CKS would probably be the highlight. Not into temples so left them out.
Going to night markets not so much for the food (not that adventurous) but for the experience. I might surprise myself.

Maybe you have other places to suggest in addition to the ones above? (and restaurants too!)
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, i am going to Taipei next month. Based on my research i can do a 1day trip to Yehliu --> Jinguashi --> Jiufen --> Shifen --> Keelung.

From Ruifang Train Station, which bus# should i take going to Shifen? How long is this trip? and how much? what is the frequency of the bus? Do you have the bus time arrival?

How far is Shifen Waterfall? Is there a bus that i can take?

From Shifen to Keelung:

I understand that from Shifen Train station i have to go to Ruifang Railway Station. Which bus# should i take? how long is the trip and how much? what is the frequency of the bus? Do you have the bus time arrival?

From Ruifang Railway Station going to Keelung, same questions: Which bus# should i take? how long is the trip and how much? what is the frequency of the bus? Do you have the bus time arrival?
